abstract: Changes of hop cones and granulates of Magnum and Marynka varieties were deter-mined. The adulteration level was determined using HSI analysis and Wollmer’s method. Comparison of methods for hop adulteration estimation was performed. Higher level of hop adulteration determined with HSI method is a result of its greater sensibility towards changes occurring in hop. Wollmer’s method points out to slower rate of bitter substances transformations in hop.
